Sometimes it just takes that continued comment to tip you over the edge. Well yesterday was that day!
I dont normally put "rant" posts up but i need to for those that are my good friends that are not really in the show world, and ones that are and have a deep understanding, And especially those that know how much time and energy i put into my breeds.
Im always the first one to say to anyone... i know my breeds are not perfect and they're a work in progress, but i need to put them on the show table to get quality judgement on how to improve my breeds and move forward with what im trying to achieve, Especially to the standard. Dont get me wrong the judges yesterday have been amazing and i appreciate their feedback, i take it and i move forward with their advices, along with our UK judges, all have been amazing and very helpful.
Im the only one in NSW and most of Australia that works on these breeds, so trying to source good quality stock from other breeders is impossible, so i have to work with what i have already, and when you lose rabbits constantly to calici and losing your best ones of that breed, its extremely hard to rebuild and recreate stock from scratch all over again, so of course mixing the formulas and genetics is sometimes required.
But it definitely hurts when you hear someone (not a judge) saying that you breed s**t with s**t.... well what else can i do? You have to start somewhere and you have to work with what you have, no rabbit is ever perfect, and breeders do cross out to help build a better rabbit to the standard set by BRC. Im trying the best i can and im learning everyday, i really appreciate everyones support and constant checking in with me, it really means the world to me... you all know who you are 💙 thank you ever so much.
yes im very emotional about this because my heart and soul goes into these rabbits, i give my absolute all, and sometimes it bankrupts me, But my guys dont go without anything at all, nothing but the best i can give them.
noone will stop me from continuing with my rare breeds, the only one that can stop me is me! but unfortunately i am at a stand still because of lack of stock i need, but I'll get there in the end 🙏 time is all it takes, its already been quite a number of years, but im stronge and i will get there in the end.
Thank you again everyone for your constant love and support ❤️
